The Citizen, 2011-03-03, Page 19THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2011. PAGE 19. 2011 Bridal Parade A fairy tale winter wonderland was the theme for the wedding of Kelly McDonald and Adam Jarosz on December 18, 2010. Kelly is the daughter of Rick and Jo-Ann McDonald of Walton and Adam is the son of Reed and Sue Jarosz of Waterloo. The sanctuary of Duff’s United Church, Walton was beautifully decorated in silver, white and burgundy for the ceremony, which was conducted by Rev. Dr. Peter Kugba-Nyande. The wedding party danced down the aisle to the song “Forever” by Chris Brown. A Chinese Chatter Box was used as part of the wedding vows. Kelly wore a beautiful strapless, southern-belle-style gown with layers of silk and lace cascading down the body of the full skirt. It featured a mid-length train and was gathered with a flower at the hip. A matching flower was worn in her hair. Kelly was attended by her sister LeeAnn Konarski as matron of honour and the bridesmaids were Jasmine Moffet, Kitchener; Katie Emmrich, Walton; Amanda Haak, Seaforth and Alicia McDonald, Walton. The girls wore strapless, embroidered-bodice burgundy gowns. They were floor-length, full, formal, southern-belle style with a ruffled hem and matching flower at the hip. Adam was attended by his best man Paul Royston, Wellesley and groomsmen Nick Maude, Waterloo; Nathan Swartzentruber, New Hamburg; Jason Konarski, Seaforth and Scott McDonald, Walton. They wore black tuxedos with silver vests. The wedding dinner and reception was held at the River Garden Inn in Stratford. The wedding party danced into the hall to “Are You Ready For This” by 2Unlimited. Upon arrival at the hall, guests were greeted with a forest of trees and a sleigh in which to have their photo taken. The hall was beautifully decorated in black, burgundy, silver and white. Adam’s twin sisters Lisa and Leslie, were the Mistresses of ceremonies. Adam and Kelly had prepared a slide show to show their guests how they felt about them. A surprise visit by Santa to wish the couple Merry Christmas was enjoyed by Adam and Kelly and the younger guests. The couple provided a photo booth with goofy items for guests to model and take fun pictures later in the evening. Adam and Kelly enjoyed a 26-day Contiki Tour to Europe for their honeymoon. They went to France, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria and England. Adam and Kelly live in New Hamburg.

Many people want to take the concept further and ensure their nuptials, and subsequent reception, are good for the planet as well. Although there are no firm statistics on the number of green weddings being held each year, emerging trends point to the growing interest in eco-conscious weddings. Individuals who already do their best to recycle, reuse and reduce want to employ those same values on their wedding day. There are many ways to employ a green mind set to wedding planning and execution. Largely the carbon footprint of a wedding can be reduced simply by scaling back and avoiding over-consumption.
